Benefits of Studying Abroad

Study abroad to discover new places, form meaningful relationships, and gain a broader understanding of the world—all while staying on track with your degree. You'll develop key skills such as cultural competence, independence, and resilience that stand out to future employers.


There are few experiences that are as transformative to the development of a student as study abroad. A full immersion in another culture heightens ones cultural sensitivities and opens our minds to the complexity of the world. And, if that is not enough, study abroad increases the competitiveness of our students as they seek employment upon graduation.
